HIGH PERFORMANCE PLASTIC SHEET AND FILM, INK & ADHESIVES
MAKROLON HYGARD®
POLYCARBONATE SHEET
…A Family of Products for Your Toughest Architectural Glazing Applicatio
Sheffield Plastics
Sheffield Plastics was founded in 1949 as a producer of high quality plastics products. Today, with over fifty years of experience in the industry, Sheffield has grown to become a recognized leader in high performance plastics, supplying materials for architectural, industrial, commercial, and aerospace applications.
Together with its European affiliate, Sheffield Plastics is a global leader in producing polycarbonate sheet in the world. Wherever high performance glazing materials are required, Sheffield has the technology to fit the application.
None Tougher
Sheffield Plastics polycarbonate sheet is produced under rigid quality control specifications, meeting ISO certification guidelines for both plants and processes. Polycarbonate
resins supplied by Bayer, combined with the latest in production technology, assure that the physical properties of MAKROLON® polycarbonate sheet will meet or exceed the performance characteristics of any directly competitive product on the market today.
MAKROLON® Polycarbonate Sheet is Clearly the Right Choice
How can you tell if polycarbonate is the right choice for you? It's simple! Only polycarbonate can offer the ideal combination of impact strength, cost effectiveness, and energy efficiency. No glazing alternative can surpass MAKROLON® polycarbonate sheet for superior all-around performance. It's the right choice for almost any demanding glazing application.
MAKROLON polycarbonate sheet is as clear as glass and hundreds of times stronger. It's also many times stronger than acrylic sheet-offering a margin of safety that no other clear glazing material can beat. With its inherent design flexibility, MAKROLON polycarbonate sheet can be cut or cold-formed on-site during installation, without the preforming and fabrication associated with glass or acrylic. It is lightweight and requires less structural support than all-glass systems, saving additional time and labor costs. Its durability and energy efficiency add up to long term cost savings. From skylights and barrel vaults to educational and institutional glazing, the question is not why, but where polycarbonate?
Built to Perform
• Transportation Glazing • Institutional Glazing
• Barrel Vaults • Skylights
• Covered Walkways • Storefronts
• Privacy Glazing • Factory Overglazing
Don't let material limitations compromise your design creativity. MAKROLON polycarbonate sheet is designed to perform in a wide range of applications and meets all standard architectural specifications and codes.
Impact Protection
Unsurpassed by any clear glazing product on the market, MAKROLON polycarbonate sheet is hundreds of times stronger than plate glass and many times stronger than acrylic. This tough, long lasting material offers attractive protection in areas subject to high traffic, vandalism or burglary. It even withstands natural forces like severe wind, hail, and snow storms. In fact, MAKROLON polycarbonate sheet meets stringent state mandates for hurricane resistant glazing materials.
Design Latitude
MAKROLON polycarbonate sheet is extremely ductile. It can be cut on-site from flat sheet or cold-formed into curves that would be impossible to construct with laminated glass or acrylic. Forget about costly factory preforming and fabrication. With MAKROLON polycarbonate sheet, you can create cost effective, distinctive structures that feature dramatic expanses of curved glazing.
Cost Efficiency
The unique combination of lightweight (half the weight of glass) and high strength inherent in MAKROLON polycarbonate sheet allows designs that require less structural support. Since MAKROLON polycarbonate sheet can be cut and cold-formed on-site, you save time and money that would normally be dedicated to preinstallation techniques like oven bending. MAKROLON polycarbonate sheet is much more durable than other material options. The cost of replacement becomes a less immediate (and less costly) concern.
Energy Efficiency
MAKROLON polycarbonate sheet is a superior insulating material when compared to equivalent thicknesses of glass. Double-glazing and overglazing offer even more energy savings. Overglazing with a patterned grade of MAKROLON polycarbonate sheet adds visual security and enhances the appearance of industrial and commercial sites.
Light and Energy Transmission
By allowing the transmitance of up to 90 percent of solar energy and 88 percent of visible light, clear MAKROLON polycarbonate sheet is an excellent glazing material for a wide range of applications where clarity is essential. MAKROLON polycarbonate sheet is also available in gray and bronze tints to help control heat gain, and provide a variety of privacy patterns for obscure glazing requirements.
